You have to uncover the leads that not everyone sees.

Inglewood's best time to purchase is long gone (in my opinion) but deals can still be found, you just have to work a lot harder to uncover them.

A similar example was shared around a house purchase where marketing and other business activities uncover a property. 

You can usually spot the flaw and simply have to account for it.

I guess I am just a little skeptical and curious if anyone else sees flaws with this property by just looking at the Zillow link.

If you are considering investing in rental properties, you will want to understand how cash flow is determined, as well as some of the most common expenses to account for.Determining Cash FlowInvestors well-versed in determining cash flow will find it much easier to uncover a rental property’s true potential.

@Shafi NossWithout an example, I can't be sure we're on the same page.Say you bought a property for $200k 10 years ago, depreciated $50k of it, and are selling it for $300k now.You have a $150k capital gain, $50k of which is taxed under 1250 recapture rules, and $100k under long-term cap gains rules.Now, a mathematically flawed example below, just to illustrate the concept.

If they uncover any thing that they want fixed, you can counter with you've lived there for 6 years and should have known it was a problem and factored it into your offer. 

People love hardwoods and if they are clean and smooth they are very forgiving about any "character flaws" such as old water stains or cigarette burns.

@Reed Meyer it depends what i feel like learning and what kind of crap i uncover haha.
